    How To Re-Initialize The Hard Drive on DVR

    ADVERTS
    This was sent to me... have not tried it... for Re-Initializing the HDD on your Dishnet receiver
    SELECT THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS (works with Dish 522 and some other
    receivers)

    1. Menu
    2. 6
    3. 3 (the Diagnostic screen should appear)
    4. Info
    5. Right button
    6. Left button (screen filled with hexadecimal figures should
    appear)
    7. Play
    8. Play
    9. Recall (message saying that the hard drive will be
    re-initialized)
    Note: only try this as a last resort...

    I'd be careful entering any of those backdoor commands. There are some out there that can reformat your hard drive among other things.

    Main Setup - Dish 1000.4 Den: Pioneer PDP 6020; Denon 3808ci, Paradigm 60s (fronts) and 590 (center); Living Room Panny GT25 42" Bedroom - Panny 50" G25
    Tailgate Setup - 1000.2, 722k, 922, Honda Generator EU2000i, 2 Vizio 32" LCDs

    Yeah, I do remember a few discussions about re-init bad disk in DVR popping here last few years,that's why the Bil's 'discovery' didn't exite me.
